Maintaining working smoke alarms and having a family escape plan are just two things every family should consider when it comes to protecting those you love (and live with).
Maintaining working smoke alarms and having a family escape plan are just two things every family should consider when it comes to protecting those you love (and live with).
Please refer to the instructions provided with the alarm. If you’re not certain, a smoke and combination smoke/carbon monoxide alarm is typically installed on a ceiling. A carbon monoxide alarm is typically installed on a wall about five feet above the floor.
Using the back of the Smoke/carbon monoxide alarm as a template, mark the center of the fixture holes with a pencil.
Attach the Smoke/carbon monoxide alarm to the back plate. Most units rotate and “snap” into place.
Test the unit once a month – and replace the batter- ies when you change the clocks for daylight savings and daylight standard time.
Press the TEST button (again!) to verify that it oper- ates and can be heard easily.
